OF MONTANA, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MISSOULA COUNTY, SANDERS COUNTY, THE CITY OF 

HOT SPRINGS, THE CITY OF RONAN, AND THE TOWN OF :,lT. IGNATIUS ENTER INTO THIS 

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT AS FOLLOWS: 

I. LAW ENFORCEMENT 

A. Dispatch Assessment of Incoming Calls 

1. Exigent Circumstances 

Upon receiving an incoming call, tribal, state, county, and city dispatch officers will dispatch the nearest 

officer to the scene of a crime where exigent circumstances do not allow for an assessment of whether the persons 

involved are Indian or non-Indian. 

2. Assessment of Dispatch Calls 

When an incoming call to dispatch is not an immediate exigent emergency, the di spatcher shall determine 

the: 
a. Nature of the call; 

b. Possible suspect/victims; and 

c. Location of the incident. 

3. Referral to Appropriate Agencies 

Ifthe key parties to the incident are Indian, and it is not clear that the reported offense would be charged as 

a felony, state, county, or city dispatchers will relay the information directly to tribal dispatch. Ifthe key parties to 

the incident are Indian and tribal dispatch receives the call, tribal dispatch will contact tribal officers. If the key 

parties are non-Indian and tribal dispatch receives the call, tribal dispatch will relay the information directly to the 

appropriate state, county, or city dispatch officer. In either situation, the person making the call will not be told to 

call the other jurisdiction. The dispatchers of the respective jurisdictions shall directly relay information to the 

appropriate dispatch office. 

4. Unclear Assessment 

Ifa clear assessment of the status of the key parties is not possible by dispatchers, direct law enforcement 

services will be provided by the jurisdiction receiving the call. 

B. Officer Response to Dispatch Calls 

1. Field Response to Dispatch Calls 

Law enforcement officers dispatched into the field, either as the nearest officer available for exigent 

circumstances or as the appropriate officer due to the status of the persons involved, shall respond as immediately as 

possible. Once dispatched, officers shall attempt no assessment of proper jurisdiction until public safety is secured. 

Ifit is clear to the law enforcement officer that the offense committed will be charged as a felony, the officer will 

proceed pursuant to the authority of the jurisdiction represented. Ifit is unclear whether the offense will be charged 

as a felony or as a misdemeanor, the officer will determine the status of the suspect involved. 

2. Field Determination of "Indian" 

Law enforcement officers will determine the Indian/non-Indian status of a suspect at the crime scene as 

soon as reasonable after providing any emergency law enforcement services and securing public safety. For 

purposes of the Agreement, an "Indian" is a person who is an enrolled member of a federally-recognized tribe. To 

make such determination, the suspect will be questioned as to whether she/he is an Indian. 

a. Self-identification as Indian with Proof of Enrollment 

Ifthe suspect responds in the affirmative, the officer will obtain enrollment information and call the tribal 

dispatch officer, who will verify the enrollment status via contacting the specified Tribe's dispatch office and 

requesting enrollment verification. If the suspect's Indian status is verified, the non-tribal officer will request tribal 

officer response, ifnecessary. 

b. Self-identification as Indian Without Proof of Enrollment 

If the suspect claims to be an Indian to the non-tribal officer, but is unable to provide enrollment 

information, the suspect will properly be within the jurisdiction of the responding non-tribal officer until enrollment 

information is secured or until a successful defense of lack ofjurisdiction is raised at trial. 

2 
Ifthe suspect claims to be an Indian to a responding tribal officer, but is unable to provide 

verifying information, the suspect is properly within the jurisdiction of the Tribes unless a successful defense of lack 

ofjurisdiction is raised at trial. 

C. Traffic Stops 

1. Non-Tribal Officer Stops 

A non-tribal law enforcement officer may stop any vehicle upon a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. 

The non-tribal officer may also conduct a protective frisk of the suspect and the area in the suspect's immediate 

control, whether the suspect is Indian or non-Indian, if the officer reasonably believes that the suspect may be armed 

with a weapon. 

The non-tribal officer must then determine the Indian/non-Indian status of the suspect. Ifthe suspect is 

Indian, as verified by the tribal dispatch, the officer may either issue a citation for the alleged violation pursuant to 

Section Dor, if the officer determines that an arrest is necessary, request response by a tribal officer. 

The non-tribal officer shall have authority to detain the Indian suspect pursuant to Section E: Unavailability 

of an Appropriate Officer. 

2. Tribal Officer Traffic Stops 

A tribal officer may stop any vehicle upon a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. The tribal officer 

may also conduct a protective frisk of the suspect and the area in the suspect's immediate control, whether Indian or 

non-Indian, if the officer reasonably believes that the suspect may be armed with a weapon. 

The tribal officer must then determine the Indian/non-Indian status of the suspect. Ifthe suspect is nonIndian, the tribal officer may either issue a citation for the alleged violation pursuant to Section Dor, if the officer 

determines that an arrest is necessary, request response by a non-tribal officer. 

The tribal officer shall have authority to detain the suspect until the arrival of the non-tribal officer pursuant 

to Section E: Unavailability of an Appropriate Officer. 

D. Citation Authority 

1. Tribal Officers 

Officers who have met tribal requirements for certification and who have been certified by the Tribes as 

law enforcement officers are hereby commissioned by each other party to this Agreement to exercise limited 

authority within those portions of the respective jurisdictions which lie within the exterior boundaries of the 

Flathead Indian Reservation. These tribal officers may exercise authority limited to that necessary for issuance of 

citations for violations of the state traffic laws and laws regarding minors in possession of alcohol. This authority 

includes that necessary to collect bond for the respective jurisdiction. 

When a tribal officer makes a stop upon a reasonable suspicion of a criminal violation and determines: (I) 

that the suspect is a non-Indian; and (2) that an arrest is not necessary, the tribal officer is commissioned to act as an 

agent of the appropriate non-tribal jurisdiction and issue a citation for violation of state traffic laws and laws 

regarding minors in possession of alcohol. 

3 
2. Non-Tribal Officers 

Officers who have met the necessary requirements for certification as law enforcement officers of the 

respective state, county, and city jurisdictions and who have been certified by the respective jurisdiction, are hereby 

commissioned by the Tribes to exercise authority within the exterior boundaries of the Flathead Reservation. These 

non-tribal officers may exercise authority limited to that necessary for issuance of citations for violations of the 

tribal traffic ordinances and ordinances regarding minors in possession of alcohol. This authority includes that 

necessary to collect bond for the Tribes. When a non-tribal officer makes a stop upon a reasonable suspicion of a 

violation and determines: (l) that the suspect is an Indian; and (2) that an arrest is not necessary, the non-tribal 

officer is commissioned to act as an agent of the Tribes and issue a citation for violation of tribal traffic ordinances 

and ordinances regarding minors in possession of alcohol. 

3. Chain of Command 

The chain of command for the law enforcement officers of the parties to this Agreement shall not be 

changed by the granting of authority to issue citations on behalf of a jurisdiction other than that of the officer. 

Officers will continue to report to and be accountable to superiors to whom they now report. 

E. Unavailability of Appropriate Officer When Arrest Necessary 

1. Stop by Non-Tribal Officer 

Ifupon a request from a non-tribal officer, a tribal officer determines he is unable to respond to a traffic 

stop which necessitates an arrest of an Indian person for protection of public safety within thirty (30) minutes of the 

detention of the Indian suspect, the tribal officer may authorize the non-tribal officer to arrest and transport the 

suspect to the Tribal Law and Order facility. Such arrest and transport in a traffic-stop situation cannot occur without 

the express grant of authority from the tribal officer to the non-tribal officer pursuant to Section F. An arrest made 

with an express grant of authority from the tribal officer includes a grant of authority to completely process the 

suspect for the crime. 

Ifthe traffic stop of an Indian suspect by a non-tribal officer does not warrant the arrest of the suspect, the 

non-tribal officer may issue a citation for the alleged violation pursuant to Section D, or file a report ofprobable 

cause and report of traffic violation to the tribal prosecutor's office. 

2. Stop by a Tribal Officer 

Ifupon request from a tribal officer, the non-tribal officer determines he is unable to respond to a traffic 

stop which necessitates an arrest of a non-Indian within thirty (30) minutes of the detention of the non-Indian 

suspect, the non-tribal officer may authorize the tribal officer to arrest and transport the suspect to the county or city 

law enforcement facilities. Such arrest and transport in a traffic-stop situation cannot occur without the express grant 

of authority from the non-tribal officer to the tribal officer pursuant to Section F. An arrest made with an express 

grant of authority from the non-tribal officer includes a grant of authority to completely process the suspect for the 

crime. 

Ifthe traffic stop of a non-Indian suspect by a tribal officer does not warrant the arrest of the suspect, the 

tribal officer may issue a citation for the alleged violation pursuant to Section D, or file a report of probable cause 

and report of traffic violation to the tribal prosecutor's office, who will then forward it to the appropriate prosecutor's 

office. 

4

1. Arrest by Non-Tribal Officer of Tribal Suspect 

A non-tribal officer may make an arrest of an Indian person only when granted authority to do so by a tribal 

officer after the tribal officer indicates he or she is unable to assure he or she can be at the scene within thirty (30) 

minutes of the detention of the Indian suspect, and: 

a. The non-tribal officer establishes to the tribal officer that probable cause for the arrest exists; or 

b. When the crime by the Indian person is committed or being committed in the non-tribal officer's 

presence and an arrest is necessary to protect the public or preserve the evidence.

a. The tribal officer establishes to the non-tribal officer that probable cause for the arrest exists; or 

b. When the crime by the non-Indian person is committed or being committed in the tribal officer's 

presence and an arrest is necessary to protect the public or preserve the evidence. 

The non-tribal officer may verbally give the grant of arrest authority to the tribal officer. 

G. Investigations 

1. Unknown Suspect

whether the persons involved in an incident are Indian or non-Indian, officers of the responding 

jurisdiction will stabilize the situation and take the lead in the necessary investigatory work. 

b. When the suspect is unknown and it is determined that the victims are both Indian and non-Indian, 

the responding jurisdiction will lead the investigation with the cooperation of the other 

jurisdictions until the identity of the suspect is determined. 

c. When the suspect is unknown and it is determined that the victim is Indian, the tribal officers will 

take the lead in the investigation until the identity of the suspect is determined.

that they result from a reduction of a felony offense due to a lesser included offense jury instruction at trial. If 

probation is a part of the sentence, it may be monitored by tribal probation personnel pursuant to agreement between 

the State and the Tribes. 

The State may retain jurisdiction of Indian persons for misdemeanor crimes in the limited circumstance that 

they result from plea bargains which are negotiated before a trial verdict which reduce felony crimes to 

misdemeanors. Ifprobation is a condition of the plea bargain, such probation may be monitored by tribal probation 

personnel pursuant to agreement between the State and the Tribes. 

B. Concurrent Tribal/State Felony Jurisdiction

When a crime is charged as a felony by the State, but prosecutorial discretion necessitates a reduction to a 

misdemeanor before trial, the State prosecutor will inform the tribal prosecutor. After providing adequate time for 

the tribal prosecutor to file the charging document in tribal court, the State will move to dismiss its action without 

prejudice.

charging document in state court, the tribal prosecutor will move to dismiss its action without prejudice. 

D. Probation 

Probation ordered for all tribal defendants in Tribal Court shall be monitored by tribal probation personnel. 

Probation ordered for all tribal defendants who are convicted in a state district court for a felony offense 

shall remain under state jurisdiction, but may be supervised by tribal probation personnel pursuant to agreement

for purposes of revocation. Such revocations shall be within state jurisdiction when the conviction and ordered 

probation occurred within a state jurisdiction.
